In 2008 Daily Kos announced that the Wilkins Ice Shelf in Antarctica was about to disappear and that the Arctic would be ice-free by 2012.

Based on Google Earth imagery it appears that the Wilkins Ice Shelf is still there and may be larger than it was in 2008.
Arctic ice is still there and hasn’t declined since those predictions were made.

Climate alarmists will ignore their past failures and turn their attention back to Antarctica and claim that sea ice is the lowest on record.

A few weeks earlier was the largest forest fire in US history, along the Idaho/Montana border.
“As an example of well authenticated climatic changes, we may mention that Iceland and Eastern Greenland are very much colder than they were five hundred years ago. In Iceland the immense trees which used to be common there have ceased to grow, though there are abundant evidences of the large growth at a former period, say in the fourteenth century, while on the opposite shores of Greenland, several valleys that were known to have been inhabited formerly, have become wholly inaccessible in consequence of haring been invaded by ice.”
Time Magazine says we can prevent cold weather in Texas by spending trillions of dollars on windmills, and that this will prevent $20 billion dollars worth of weather disasters.

“…you want to see the climate crisis in action My trip to Greenland coincided with one of the only instances of rainfall on the ice sheet. As an environmental journalist, faced with the enormity of global warming every day – you’d think this wouldn’t phase me. But seeing how shocked, and genuinely upset, our Greenlandic guides were by this rain moved me (and others) to tears.”

Rain has been observed near the center of the Greenland ice sheet in the past.
SR-216 SUMMER CLIMATE AT SELECTED SITES ON THE ROSS ICE SHELF AND THE GREENLAND ICE SHEET
Every winter huge amounts of ice accumulates on the Greenland ice sheet. It doesn’t all melt and the excess flows to the sea and calves off glaciers.

Five years ago this is what CNN and the Washington Post were saying about the Jakobshavn glacier. They recruited a Hollywood actor who is married to someone from Greenland as their expert.

The Jakobshavn glacier is growing for the first time in 170 years.
In March, a NASA-led research team announced that Jakobshavn Isbrae, is … thickening and advancing toward the ocean”
Following the study’s publication, additional analyses show Jakobshavn grew thicker by 22 and 33 yards (20 to 30 meters) each year from 2016 to 2019.”
From 1851 to 1902 the glacier retreated about ten miles.
